I use the PTT remap and it works like a champ great little proggy.
Short press - toady screen long press HTC Action screen.
Though nice I'd like to have either "Backlight" or even "Full brightness backlight" on button 6. any chance to do this? I'm not afraid hacking the reg.
Yes, go into the Windows folder and find the app called Backlight.exe. make a shortcut to it and move that shortcut into the Windows > Start Menu > Programs folder. Then go to the buttons option and change the PTT button to fire up the Backlight shortcut. I don't use the regular Buttons option to do this with mine, I use AE Button Plus, but it should work the same way.
I almost went that far already BUT is there an option to set the default and/or adjust backlight setting to full brightness?
Here's a great utility I found yesterday after searching for "backlight" on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413137&highlight=backlight
The shortcut I use is \Program files\bl\bl02.exe 0 4 9 Press PTT once it is off, press again and it is about medium, press again and it's on full. You can change it to \Program files\bl\bl02.exe 1 9 and it would go from dim or bright each time you press it. I'm not sure how many arguments you can pass, but people have been able to use 5 with no troubles.
When changing sound profile I have to go to Settings - Sound - and choose my profile. The "old" HTC Home had a profile tab. Isn't there an easier/faster way to change sound profile?
Do you mean like click the volume up\down button on the left of the phone and select silent, vibrate or change the volume?
Even easier

Go to Start->Settings->System->Long Press End Key->choose: Set Vibrate/Ringer
Nothing easier possible, but the "Shaking" method explained elsewhere here.

Do a prolonged bottom right key press and a menu will come up with one of the options being vibrate mode or ringer mode (it is a toggle).
You can also set it such that the prolonged key press toggles the two modes, rather than bring up the menu.
I noticed that despite changing in call volume settings and system volume settings, the volumes are linked together.
Has this always been the way? I seem to recall my WM6 phone (Hermes) remembering in call volumes and keeping it seperate from the system volume -but I may be wrong.
I want to lower my in call volume, but the hardware volume buttons don't seem to make that much of a differnce - and not to mention they adjust the system volume as well.
I have read through all the other volume related threads I can find. I think this is the first time someone actually wants to lower the diamond's earpiece volume!
Effectively you have 3 volumes. Unless you are in a call then the volume buttons only give you access to the system and ring volumes. As far as I know you can only adjust the in call volume in call (there will be a registry option also but I don't know where sorry).
Anyway when you start your call before you put the phone to your ear (and the screen goes off) press volume up or down and it will change your call volume.
I figured out what it was... it was due to me disabling the diamond phone skin.
You lose volume functionality.
And if the settings is "silent", even the music player, via earphones, is silent?

Can you elaborate?
I've disabled the Diamond skin yet I am able to independently adjust the in-call volume... in-call. System/ringer volume is adjustable at all other times.

If you disable the diamond dialer skin and have HTC volume control enabled you will not be able to alter the in call volume. To adjust in call volume using default windows dialer skin you also have to disable HTC volume control.
Ah, yes, I do seem to recall having disabled the HTC Volume too with DiamondTweak.

Hi guys,
I do not want to use "Diamond dialer Skin" because of the S2U2, so I have disable it. However, there is no way to alter the in call volume (I have activate and deactivate HTC volume control with Diamond Tweaker, but no way).
Any help?
Thanks in advance
No one has solve this trouble? It is making me crazy!
Why does the dialler skin interefere with S2U2?

Each time a call is incoming, in the first few seconds the dialler skin appears. After that, the normal S2U2 screen appears again (with "slide to answer"...). If you touch accidentally the option "Answer" of the dialler skin by accident in these few seconds, it will answer the call.
I have added something in the registry (to be honest, I can not remember right now) that it was supposed to fix this trouble, but no way...

Does that mean the volume buttons will no longer work during a call but you will get a volume adjuster on the screen...or will the volume buttons still change the in call volume. dont know about anyone else but I find the volume buttons a bit too fiddly and 'sunk' too far...probably nicer to look at though...
I mean that the volume buttons will not work any more. The only way they work in my Diamond is activating "Diamond Dialer Skin", but with this, I get the S2U2 problem...

And a big memory comsumption!!!!
I've disabled phone skin too... and have the same problem. Hard to find the good key in the registry!
Some help are welcome!
THX!

It is not a big problem, but it is making me crazy...
try this regkey
I maxed up my in call volume, and found this DWORD regkey to be changing to FFFFFFFF (8 F's hex value).
Can you try?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides\SavedInCallVolume

Thank you very much for the answer.
Anyway, I do know how to configure the volume (I use a "Profiles" software that can adjust the volume). The point is to be able to change the in call volume during the call.
To be honest, I can hardly believe that no one has deactivate "Diamond Skin Phone" and had no trouble with this
I'm using the dialer skin, but when i am talking with someone, adjusting the volume up/down, it always reset it to lowest. Any advice?
I really miss being able to switch between vibrate and ringer/sound-on the way I did on my Kaiser, which was to hold down the camera button (or any button of my choice) for one second.
It seems on the Diamond I either have to touch the taskbar, then the sound icon, then switch it, or, go to Settings tab, then Sounds, then switch it.
Is anyone using a one-touch approach for this on the Diamond, whether it be with a hardware key or on the touchscreen?
Thanks in advance.
You can assign the end call button to switch between ringer and vibrate. Go to Settings>System>Long Key Press and you will see the option.
i just hold vol up/down to switch

Perfect. Thanks!
I've been trying to sort out the volume controls on droid to get them to behave how I want and after trying various different 3rd party apps to do this I still haven't made it do what I want. It's getting a little frustrating now!
So at the risk of being told "This has been asked before" and being shown threads I've already read and links I've tried out, I'm resorting to asking.
Basically what I'm looking for is that ALL of the individual volume controls are linked together to the main volume rocker switch, and/or the ringtone volume setting. What I mean by that is that when I hold the switch down to make the phone quieter or silent, I want ALL the other volume controls (media/notifications/alarms etc) to use the exact same setting. And the same when the volume is increased.
And when I mention ringtone volume setting I mean that (if possible) when I add say a profile switching shortcut on the home screen and choose a silent/vibrate/normal profile that the same behaviour applies, ie all the volume controls get set the same.
If I was being choosy, in an ideal world it would be nice to be able to choose any particular control and have it excluded from this behaviour as I see fit, but that's a nice to have - beggars can't be choosers!
The important thing is basically when I turn the volume rocker down that I want my phone to make all the volume settings go down etc like they're one overall setting not a bunch of separate ones.
In terms of implementation I'm not sure if this will sound how I mean it to, but I don't really want to have to keep messing with an app to change settings, or have to have a shortcut that needs to be used etc. So with that in mind is there such a thing that just installs and has no interface of its own per se but actually fundamentally changes the way the standard volume controls and settings work and are presented to you?
That's ultimately what I'd love to have rather than a 'bolt on' that I need to remember is there and have to meddle with all the time. I hope that makes sense, and I'd certainly try out a solution that only ticks 'some' of the boxes than have no suggestions at all.
Sorry if this sounds similar to other threads on volume control. I've read several similar ones, and have tried many 3rd party volume/mute apps etc but have not yet found one that just links the separate volume sliders together in this way in such a simple fashion. I'm sure there must be one like this, but I've not found it yet so appreciate a pointer in the right direction!
Cheers
Looking for this aswell, but I was never able to find it
Just a quick update for anyone searching - I found an app called 'Master Volume' which has worked for me.
It doesn't offer anything in terms of exceptions or individual control I don't think, but importantly it DOES link the volume controls together and links them at the same time to the rocker switch on the phone.
So you install it, then I opened the all and it says to just leave the service running in the background (so I set my task killer app to ignore the process). That's it. It just seems to work no problem.
Result!
